Now the temp has dropped a bit, put a bit of air in all the tyres to get the pressures back.

You'll be setting the climate control to preheat the cabin and using the seat heaters next ;D

Yes well, Chatham is 50 or so miles from here, so that's probably about the right distance.

Nearly cooked the Mondeo earlier when I got stuck in a horrible jam in Newport for about an hour and didn't notice the temp was in the red until we got moving and she felt a bit sluggish!  :o  ::)

Luckily I was just about to rejoin the motorway, so whacked the heaters on full blast and cruised at about 60 in top gear until the temp came down.  :y

It seems OK, but will have to check the fans.  :-\
